Blocks of Flats from 1958, Rejuvenated with Wood in 2012/ 14
Abstract
A rundown 1958 post-war housing estate in the west of Munich was first an object of study, then a planning model and finally a showcase project for holistic wood renovation. For an ideal lifecycle balance and overall economy, the following is vital: maintain the carrier substance, rebuild, recompress, passive-building envelope pre-fabricated in wood, timeless design and regenerative energy supply.
